I Reached The Point Where I Actually

Umpires, Like Players, Are Expected To Show Constant Improvement Each Season And At Each Level. Inconsistent Plate Work And The Inability To Handle Situations Are Probably The Two Biggest Problems That Minor League Umpires Face.

I Set Very High Standards For Myself And Worked Every Game With The Same Energy And Enthusiasm As If It Were The Seventh Game Of A World Series.

The Florida State League Was Considered The Top A-league Back Then. You Played In The Spring Training Parks Of Major League Teams, Traveled Throughout Some Great Cities In Florida, And The Pay Was The Best In A-ball.

Most Plays That Are Missed By The Umpire Are Caused By The Umpire Not Reading Those Cues Early Enough And Making The Proper Adjustments.

I Learned A Valuable Life Lesson That Summer. You Should Find Something In Life That You Really Enjoy And Seriously Consider Making That Your Life's Work.
